I brought my family and mother in law on a private manatee tour worth the extra money I assure you. Our crew of Grace and Dylan were awesome and very informative. We would highly recommend this tour and we would instruct anyone to ask specifically for Grace and Dylan when sharing our experience with others. Thanks guys.

Best trip on Crystal River! What an awesome time with Evan and Grace! Thanks for helping us create an awesome family Memory!

We had an absolutely incredible swimming with manatees experience thanks to Grace and Evan! Their patience and expertise were truly outstanding. From the moment we entered the water, they made sure we felt comfortable and safe while respecting the gentle giants. Their knowledge of manatees and the local ecosystem enhanced the experience, making it not just a swim, but a meaningful encounter with these amazing creatures. I can’t recommend Grace and Evan’s guided tour enough for anyone looking to have an unforgettable adventure in nature.

We loved our private Eco tour. The smaller boat allowed us to get an up close view of the manatees without disturbing them. We also got to see lots of other wildlife and birds and our guide was able to answer all our questions. We definitely recommend going private!

The guide was great. Very knowledgeable and engaging. Highly recommend this boat tour. We saw several manatees during the tour.

We had a very special day getting to snorkel with the most gentle, enormous creatures we've ever experienced. Experiencing manatees in the wild was enchanting and magical. Evan and Hina were very accommodating to our trip needs to make sure we could fit this memory into our trip. It was awesome.

We did a private tour and our guide was Evan. Evan was knowledgeable and took us up close to as many manatee as he could. He even shared the history of the Bay. We all had a great time and would highly recommend both this tour company and Evan as a guide.

My husband, dog, and I had a great time with Hina and Jake. We started early and found a group of manatees within five minutes and had some time alone with them before the other boats started to arrive. Hina and Jake were easy-going and knowledgeable. Hina got some great photos in the water and Jake served up some very welcome hot chocolate on board. It was a cool experience floating around with these gentle giants, and I appreciate that our guides respected the animals and made sure we did not disturb them while still getting to see them up close. We were also very happy to find a dog-friendly option via the private tour.

Absolutely fabulous custom tour with a very knowledgeable guide. We saw a lot of manatees as well as other wildlife. Would highly recommend this group.

We had an amazing time! The staff at the office were very helpful and got us set up with Captain Jake. He showed us tons of manatees and was very knowledgeable about the local area. If we ever come back to Crystal River, we are going to go out with Nature's Discovery!
